Astronomically, not much is known about Pluto. Astrologically, Pluto is a potent force when 'personalised' in a chart. Because of its extremely slow orbit, it takes many years for Pluto to pass through the zodiac signs, and so it has what we term a 'generational influence' over people born during large chunks of time. If it is a ruling planet, or if it is in close conjunction to an important planet or angle, then it is personalised, and its influence in that chart much more important. Astrological Facts about Pluto
When personalised in a natal chart, Pluto energy compels the individual in one way or another. Whether they are compelled for good, or for bad (evil, even) depends upon the Pluto sign and house position, but also largely on the aspects it receives from other planets, and whether a generally kind or cruel disposition is indicated by the overall chart. Contacts between Pluto and Saturn, especially when close, can be very 'hard' or 'dangerous' aspects to the personality. Saturn-Pluto contacts can bring a sinister touch to the most benign personalities. Close aspects between Uranus and Pluto are quite explosive and revolutionary - perhaps for good (a social reformer or passionate campaigner), perhaps for worse (cruel, unpredictable dictatorship). Close aspects between Neptune and Pluto are 'strange' in nature, perhaps paranormal, or at the very least rather enigmatic. Even though Pluto's sign position remains the same for a generation or more, and is personalised only when it is the ruling planet or in close aspect to an important planet/point, the house position of Pluto is of course individual to every natal chart. Let's take a look at how powerful Pluto energy channels itself through the various astrological houses: Pluto Through the Houses The house position of Pluto will signify the area of life in which the individual is likely to experience power issues in one way or another. A poorly aspected Pluto could signify an obsession over the affairs of the house where it lives. Pluto in 1st House: Pluto in the first house exerts a powerful influence over the personality, particularly so if it is conjunct the Ascendant. Even when not in conjunction with the Ascendant, Pluto here confers extreme emotional energy, a possible cruel streak, and need to be busy at all times. Pluto in 2nd House: A second house Pluto means that the individual will be keen to express their power through wealth or personal possessions. Whilst being an excellent placing for those who are self-employed, it can lead to excessive possessiveness of both things and people. Pluto in 3rd House: Pluto in the third house is a difficult placing, since Pluto's secretive tendencies are in contrast to this, the house of communication. A searching, investigative mind is likely, coupled perhaps with an aloof, difficult to get to know nature. Pluto in 4th House: Pluto in the 4th house can be indicative of a difficult childhood, or of a person overly in thrall to their parents, even as an adult. If this is the case, this person would benefit from sorting through their childhood feelings, either alone or with counselling, in order to avoid repeating the same mistakes with their own family. Pluto in 5th House: A fifth house Pluto brings tremendous determination to any creative abilities already present in the chart. The love life is likely to be intense but frustrating, and compulsive gambling or risk-taking could be an issue. Pluto in 6th House: A sixth house Pluto can affect the health, especially in the form of mental or psychological problems. Where these are not present, then this person is capable of a great deal of willpower and staying power, but can become too obsessive about routine. Pluto in 7th House: Pluto in the seventh house indicates that relationships and partnerships are likely to be passionate but stormy. The highs and lows of this person's love life may be difficult for them to handle. Pluto in 8th House: An eighth house Pluto most likely confers some psychic abilities, or at the very least a deep interest in the unknown. Shrewd business sense and excellent research/investigation skills are also likely, together with a profound attitude towards sex. Pluto in 9th House: A ninth house Pluto indicates an individual who satisfies their need to be in control via their education or studies. A compulsive student, striving for perfection in all intellectual tasks. Pluto in 10th House: A tenth house Pluto is an interesting position for the career. Poorly aspected, it can indicate endless power trips and complexes; well aspected, it can indicate a shining star in the chosen profession. Either way, this person could quickly become obsessive about their career. Pluto in 11th House: An eleventh house Pluto can lead to the individual becoming rather obsessive about friendships. Group activities can also become an obsession, at the expense of family and friends. Pluto in 12th House: A twelfth house Pluto is powerfully placed psychologically, and means that although the individual can benefit from marvellous self-analysis, it can be very difficult for them to open up to others.
